'Twas the night after a show at Lincoln Hall and after deciding we didn't want to opt for the bartender recommended spot (we were feeling some pizza) my friend and I made our way to Proper Pizza. TONY, my mfing hero, graciously welcomed us in half an hour before closing time to an immaculate, absolutely mother-approved clean and cozy restaurant (germaphobes, Tony got you). We eyed the slices and selected cheese, pepperoni, and sausage and I personally, as a sesame bagel girly, was excited to dig in (and it did NOT disappoint). If you love east coast dollar slice, this is a pretty good substitute, *especially* if you're a cheese fan. Ratio wise, you're looking at 70/30 cheese to crust (dollar slice being 90/10). Generous slice size for the cost.Tony was not only super nice about letting us dine in so close to closing time, he was very gracious when I accidentally dropped a cup of their signature matcha sauce (think a lovely dilly ranch freshly whipped up) on the floor (I got that adhd tilt) and gave us some background on the other Proper Pizza locations / got to know Tony himself, who is, as you can tell, a gem. We felt so at home I left my bag. When I called him in the morning to see if he had the bag, he instantly recognized me and said he'd have it for me to pick up and that he'd save me a slice. I mentioned the nutella pizza I saw in photos, and he had an ENTIRE ONE ready for me when I got there.Needless to say, I'll be going back to try the margherita and truffle and to say hi to my guy Tony. We love Tony! Tony forever.
This place is phenomenal. Service, food, and atmosphere overall. Highly recommend proper pizza. Albanians do it best! ??????

Delicious pizza! Really good thin slices with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. I ordered 2 slices (which are huge by the way) and it turns out each slice comes with a drink too! (Coke, Diet Coke, sprite, bottled water). I took my pizza to go and they offered me Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes also. For individual slices they had cheese, pepperoni, and sausage, and their full pizzas are made to order. I got a cheese slice and a pepperoni slice (2 huge slices were about $15). Would love to come back and try some of the more unique pizza flavors because I really liked what I got! The sesame seeds on the crust were a nice unique touch. The space is surprisingly big, open, bright, and clean with plenty of tables for eating in. It wasn't crowded, but the service was good and my pizza was prepared quickly!
my coworkers and I who work across the street were craving garlic bread so we decided to come try Proper Pizza. we also ordered a couple slices of pizza and a salad. they were out of the arugula salad but the man (who I can only assume to be the owner?) said he would bring us cesar salad instead which was genuinely delicious and tasted so, so fresh! we only ordered 1 but he brought out 3, so all of us could have one. we also only ordered 2 slices of cheese pizza but he brought us one extra, just cause! he also gave us free drinks and punch cards - and best believe we will be using them and coming back again and again because not only was the service phenomenal , but the food was SO good. sometimes when I'm craving pizza, the idea of it is so much better than the reality, but that isn't the case here. you won't have a single regret. i can tell they use fresh and high quality ingredients. the sesame seeds on the crust really elevates this from a normal slice of pizza. the crust even besides the sesame seeds is SO good (im a big crust girl so trust me on this). the lettuce in the salad was super crisp, juicy and refreshing - exactly what you want paired against a heavier meal like pizza and cheesy garlic bread! the cheesy garlic bread is exactly what you'd expect; really yummy with the same thin, flaky crust. He also brought us some macho sauce to sample which I would say is a must-try. so yummy - tastes kind of like ranch with some dill in it ? you definitely need to get some to dip your pizza in. Also from the outside this restaurant is very unassuming but the inside is really nice with really comfortable seating/couches and is spacious and clean. I want to try every single pizza on this menu, especially the anchovy!! will be back (again and again). new favorite lunch spot near work for sure!
